Unicode Version 17.0

U+BF93 "뾓" Hangul Syllable Bbwaeh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant “ㅃ” (a tense or fortis bilabial stop, romanized as “bb”), the medial vowel “ㅙ” (a complex vowel approximating the diphthong “waeh”), and the final consonant “ㅎ” (the voiceless glottal fricative “h”) in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom block layout. This character represents a specific sound that occurs in Korean vocabulary, typically in onomatopoeic or descriptive words, and is part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, which was designed to encode the full set of 11,172 possible modern Korean syllable blocks systematically. As a relatively rare form, it exemplifies the phonetic and structural precision of the Hangul script, where each syllable block is a distinct visual and phonetic unit.
